A fantastic evening out! - An incredible trip from start to finish, George met us and directed us to his boat before giving us a brief tour then explaining the itinerary for the trip. We set off for about 30 mins to find the turtle reef, in groups we were allowed time at the bottom of the boat to view and look out for turtles. We were lucky enough to see 10+ turtles! Amongst other beautiful fish. After this we sailed to part of the island for our swim, as we had time spare waiting for sunset. George allowed us to swim for about an hour, letting us jump off the boat and provided everyone with snorkles/floats etc, which was great fun! George helped us all get the perfect pictures in the sunset, whilst his crew mate (sorry I didn’t catch his name) gave everyone drinks, we were offered wine/beer and fizzy for the kids, a lovely touch at the end of a nice trip. We sailed back to the harbour where we finished the trip, 10/10, would highly recommend to anyone, we were very happy with our tour!

Really good time! - Booked a glass bottom boat turtle watching cruise from Paphos marina to see turtles and the shipwreck in the area. We were not disappointed, saw many turtles swimming in their natural habitat, a huge shipwreck lying on the sea floor, and got to enjoy a beautiful sunset such as i have never seen before! There was a guide taking photos on the cruise and he sent them to me as promised, the photos were amazing. Highly recommended trip. Take a stugeron if you tend to feel seasick as it can get a little rough.

Excellent experience! - Great value for money, with a very friendly captain and plenty of turtles to see. Also a couple of opportunities for a cooling dive in the sea. Nice sunset views on the way back to harbour. George was very kind to take photos of us when we asked :-)

Would recommend! - This trip really was great. I was very sea sick at the start of the excursion so something to consider if you get sick like me, despite taking anti-sickness tablets, however, we did see turtles which was beautiful, and as soon as we stopped to snorkel, I was fine. The two men running the boat were lovely and helpful. The snorkelling at sunset was unbelievable. And the sun setting as you pull back into the harbour was lovely. Would recommend for an evening out to enjoy.

A great highlight of our trip - Lots of fun and very beautiful out on the reef and coming back at sunset. George was responsive and helpful even when we messed up booking the trip 😂 he seems very knowledgeable and clearly cares about the turtles. We saw at least 10 on our trip but there was no baiting the animals to the boat, just great knowledge of where they’d be and when they’d be active.

Atlantis Turtle Watch tour - Was easy to book online. George was great host and captain. We saw turtles 🐢 George was very knowledgeable explaining the types of turtle very good with children and guests wanting to swim. Sunset was great to see from the boat. Was given complimentary drink as well as being sent photos of the tour. George was not an in your face tour guide but answered any questions you had. Highly recommended...Will book again next time in paphos.

“Medium” Time - It was pretty cute experience. I enjoyed seeing the turtles however the ship would go by very quickly, we’d miss getting snaps of the turtle and the communication from the guide in the viewing platform and the captain was next to none and it even annoyed the guide. Another issue I found was it said it was a 2 and a half hour experience… it’s a lot longer. When we meet at the quiet spot where we were able to go in the water, the captain informed us that we would leave as the sun was setting… so what should’ve been 5 - 7.30, it was 5-8.30 because we arrived back at the harbour as the sun set. That’s not necessarily a bad thing but it kind of threw the rest of my evening out of the window. Be prepared to be on the boat for a longer time in the summer. Also, I think it’s worth booking the trip at the peer because you can ask how many people are going on the boat. We had far too many people on the trip. Nothing wrong with trip advisor. Also the captain likes to take pictures of everyone. Finally, the guide was nice to look at. So there’s that
